If a duplex module is installed, printing onto both sides of paper can be performed.
Two types of duplex modules are available: duplex module/bypass tray and duplex module. The descriptions in this
manual are for the duplex module/bypass tray. For information on misfeed removal for these modules, see page
2-19.

installed together with some other devices. The table on page 8-4 shows the configurations which are
compatible.
